Office of the President

Creative, innovative, and ambitious—all hallmarks of visionary artwork and attributes I see daily in our students here at the Cleveland Institute of Art. For 130 years, CIA students have excelled in producing exciting works of art and design, and our current student body is no exception.

Please take some time to explore our website to discover everything CIA has to offer. And check back throughout the year to read about our students and faculty and to learn more about our 15 degree programs. Whether you are interested in taking a continuing education or pre-college class, attending the Cinematheque, or just visiting our campus, you will be sure to find a welcoming and vibrant community at the Cleveland Institute of Art.

Best,

Grafton J. NunesPresident + CEOCleveland Institute of Art
